He was born in the small village of Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835. It was Florida that left a deep impression on Twain, which he called the paradise of children. Then, just before his fourth birthday, the whole family moved to Hannibal, a small town on the Mississippi River. And Twain’s Hannibal boyhood was crucial for the influence it had on the very best of his fiction such as Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Pudd’nhead Wilson and so on.1 These works gain Twain international fame. During his life, Samuel Langhorne Clemens enjoyed an international fame that has probably never been equaled by any other American author.2People always believe that the position of Twain in American literature is irreplaceable. Bernard Shaw once wrote to Mark Twain: 39。s a book that I have read four times, and am quite ready to begin Again tomorrow.5In the early period of its publication, it was frequently damned for its bad grammar, its coarseness, and its lack of seriousness. The Library Committee in Concord, Massachusetts banned it from the town39。s Novels: A Tentative Study of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(2008) do researches on its language. About its writing style, William Dean Howells praised that So far as I know, Mr. Clemens is the first writer to use in extended writing the fashion we all use in thinking, and to set down the thing that es into his mind without fear or favor of the thing that went before or the thing that may be about to follow.8 As one of Twain39。s The Initiation of Huck in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(2010) indicated that this novel was a classical initiation novel. On the Growth Philosophy in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (2011) by Wang Yixiu showed us a different children image.One must admit that former studies on this work make people know more about Mark Twain and his work. As one of the greatest books in world literature, there are a profusion of interpretations for more than a century. Scholars have brought us illuminating results as a cluster of shining stars, which makes the book more attractive. However, studies mainly focusing on Huck39。t make no difference.10 Here, it is not farfetched that Huck just gives perfunctory promise to Jim. This is the frequent behavior of children. No one will blame them when they make some irresponsible promises. Though he says that don39。s kind nature. Therefore, in a certain way, the sleeping glory of Huck39。s head and throw it away, and then skin the body and roast a piece of it. From Jim, Huck learns how to survive in the wild and how to deal with emergency. This experience gives little Huck an illuminating lesson, so he makes up his mind not to take ahot of a snakeskin again with his hands. Here, people know that Huck does not mean to hurt Jim, so when he sees Jim39。 drownded—you39。in, 39。s too good for true. Lemme look at you chile, lemme feel o39。s background, he lives in a style of wander. He never knows what friendship and love are. But Jim makes up this crucial lesson in his life. In chapter fifteen, they take the small raft along the river to flee to the free State. One night, fog filled the air, a turbulent flow washes away the raft, so Huck and Jim are separated from each other. At that time, the two are anxious and eager to see each other as soon as possible. But when they meet later, their reaction and behavior are quite different. When Huck finds Jim at length, he plays the joke that Hello, Jim, have I been asleep? Why didn39。s consciousness is very sensitive and values are shaped quickly. And this is also a stage the young learn to accept new things. During the raft journey, Huck learns much truth from Jim. So, all Huck39。s blanket. He thinks there will be some fun when Jim finds it there and does not think that may lead to danger. As a result, Jim is hurt. Young Huck is just an unreflecting and frolicsome child. He is not able to distinguish right from wrong. Now what Huck sees is just the black skin of Jim not his sparkling personality and character.B. Unsophisticated Heart Educated by Level Head Jim39。s conflicts mainly through three aspects to prove that a series of conflicts in Huck’s life adventures are of great importance to his maturity.The thesis consists of three chapters. The introduction part introduces the background information of Mark Twain and studies on his masterpiece The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Chapter one introduces the conflict between Huck and Jim. It mainly emphasizes how Jim help Huck face a real self. Chapter two points out the conflict between Huck and the society. It deals with how Huck grows up into a person with sound mind in a plex society. Chapter three analyzes the conflict between Huck and his idol Tom. It will concentrate on how Huck gets out of the influence of Tom and finds a true self. The conclusion summarizes the argument of this thesis. The writer of the thesis also hopes it has positive influence on teenager39。s book but he believed that in assisting Jim to escape, Huck dis
